TWO WOMEN MURDERED IN 24 HOURS

Nov 5, 2026

We lost two more women to violence in the past 24 hours. On November 5, Christine Cooksley was murdered in her home at Congarinni, New South Wales. Her partner Barry Cooksley is in police custody. Also on the same day, 90-year-old Eva Geller died from injuries sustained during the massacre at Bondi Beach last year.
Christine is the 59th woman lost to violence this year and Eva is the  60th Australian woman killed. 
Last year we lost 80 women to violence - the year before 106 women were killed.

❤️You can help me get a Royal Commission into the Killing of Women and Girls by sharing the petition on your socials and letting your circle know about it. 

❤️ABOUT THE COUNT❤️
I document all Australian women & children lost to murder, manslaughter, neglect and other unlawful acts regardless of perpetrator gender or relationship to the victim. This means not all women and children killed are lost to domestic violence. They are also killed by people known to them (ie friends) or by strangers. My work includes Australians killed overseas. Every death is documented at 
AustralianFemicideWatch.org/database

❤️ You can see the 2026 Femicide and Child Homicide data at australianfemicidewatch.org/toll-data/
